I normally love Benefit products so thought this would be a real treat for the summer. You can hardly see it. To apply all over arms and legs with this applicator would take ages with very little effect. At first I thought maybe there was something to make it shimmer more in the applicator but nope. I tested it on my hand first and was shocked not to see anything just felt slight sheen but even applying loads just not worth the time on your beauty regime and certainly not the cost. I paid around £20 and it will probably remain in a drawer. If I got for a few pounds from a discount store I would have just thrown by now and thought nothing more of it however when you pay that much but cannot return, as now used because you do not know until you use it. it just seems a shame to spend this much on this.I then tried adding some of my shimmer spray to it hoping it would make it better but no it just rubbed off. I wish I had read these reviews first and treated myself to something else. A big thumbs down!!!

V. Disappointed ! This product is far to soft - it used to be harder and go on smoother. Now it comes off quite lumpy so you can't help but use a lot of it in one go. It is also a much lighter colour ( lighter then skin colour).

Love this product and have used it daily for 15+ years! I have sensitive skin and have not had any issues at all (fyi - it is for all over body use...not for face.)To reduce breast-cancer risk, I stopped using traditional anti-perspirant and switched to using a salt-based deoderant (Crystal Essence). Adding Bathina layered a clean, powder light scent and shimmer which made a fresh combination.Also, I lived in central/eastern Europe where perfume is viewed as too overpowering and overwhelming, so I was happy to have this shower-fresh, light scent. It is perfectly lovely!I miss the large sized tin option, but as another reviewer noted - this size is easier for travel and still offers a good amount (approx 4 inches x 4 inches of balm.) Unfortunately the price has climbed over the years and now the only place I can find it is on Amazon...but I am glad I can still find it!Overall, it leaves a light feminine scent and a soft shimmer on your skin without overpowering those around you.

I used to use this product religiously in my 20's and for whatever reason, stopped and switched to other products. I have severe chemical allergies and usually only use organic/natural body products. But during the time I used this product, I never had a reaction - so when I stumbled upon it here on Amazon, I was excited to see my "old friend" and added it to my shopping cart immediately!Maybe my tastes have changed - after all it's been 10 years (heck, maybe even 20) since I last used this stuff. But this is not the product I remember at all! The scent, which used to be a very soft, powdery floral just smells odd now. Like grandma's closet.The tiny applicator makes it take forever to apply to your legs (think major production) and after applying, aside from the funky smell my legs looked no different than they would have had I applied L'Occitane 100% pure Shea butter (more expensive, but all natural and a full sized tin will last all winter with daily, full-body application).You now get less product than you Did before, and I'm pretty sure they changed the formula!Before you blame the seller, I did go to Ulta and Sephora and tried their testers to see if I had simply gotten a bad batch. but nope! This indeed is the real deal product.I'd advise you to shop around, plenty of companies sell 100% pure Shea butter, unscented that will give you the exact same results as this, with an added bonus of major hydration.Benefit: I'm not sure what you did to this product, but please un-do it!
